would love to see a SC superlite 29er.

And I originally like this one when it was called a Fisher Supercaliber.

Why does the 29 in. wheel need validation from SC Bikes anyway? The company "nailed it" with the Heckler and Superlight before eventually hitting the jackpot with the Bullit, but have done nothing for the sport since. They started out as a "by the riders - for the riders" style of company, but seem to have switched teams over to the "by the engineers - for the engineers" philosophy. The current 26" VPP linkage is a maintenance nightmare and still just goes back and forth through its travel like every other design. Why should we speculate that the same linkage will somehow magically perform better with an even larger wheel? Why not "test the waters" with a big wheeled Chameleon first? Thanks GT, for keeping us all in the loop, ...and also for providing a venue for my rants. SC Bikes was such an important player in the mainstream "freeride" and trail bike movement, but they have clearly lost their course. They used to make bikes that were, well, genuinely important.
